English Libretto or Translation:

AIDAapproaching cautiouslyRadamès is coming here!… What can he want to say to me?I tremble... Ah! If you should come,oh cruel one, to bid me a last farewell,the dark swirling waters of the Nileshall be my grave... and bring me peace, perhaps, and oblivion.

Oh my homeland, I shall never see you again!Oh blue skies, oh soft native breezes,where the light of my youth shone in tranquillity;oh green hills, perfumed shores,oh my homeland, I shall never see you again!Oh cool valleys, oh blessed, tranquil refugewhich once was promised me by love;now that the dream of love has faded,oh my homeland, I shall never see you again!
